An album containing 12, 000 signatures of Israeli children was presented today to Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, the world patron of Youth Aliyah, at her home in New York. The album was presented by Moshe Kol, world director of Youth Aliyah in Jerusalem and Mrs. A. P. Schoolman, national chairman of Youth Aliyah of Hadassah.

Mrs. Roosevelt is recovering from an accident which occurred earlier this week. She expressed her thanks and greetings to all the children of Youth Aliyah in Israel and expressed interest in a forthcoming Youth Aliyah seminar for educators and social workers from African and Asian countries which will take place in Israel under the auspices of the International Union of Child Welfare and Youth Aliyah.
